Excerpt from The Native Races of the Pacific States of North America, Vol. 4: Antiquities Confining myself strictly to the description of mate rial remains, I have omitted, or reserved for another volume, all traditions and speculations of a general nature respecting their origin and the people whose handiwork they are, giving, however, in some instances, such definite traditions as seem unlikely to come up in connection with ancient history. This is in accordance with the general plan which I adopt in treating of the Native Races Of this western half Of North America, proceeding from the known to the unknown, from the near to the remote; dealing first with the Observed phenomena of aboriginal savagism and civilization when first brought within the knowledge Of Europeans, as I have done in the three volumes already before the public; then entern the labyrinthine field of an tiquity from its least Obstructed side, I devote this volume to material relics exclusively, thus preparing the way for a final volume on traditional and written archaeology, to terminate with what most authors have given at the start, - the vaguest and most hopelessly complicated department Of the whole subj ect, - specula tions respecting the origin of the American people and Of the western civilization.
